Feeling at Home

My theory is a lot of people are hesitant to try wine for mental reasons, rather than taste, and Yellowtail helps them to think 'hey, not all wine is bad, maybe I should try some more'. I think the Macanudo reference is a good one. Yellowtail ain't a great wine, but it ain't a bad wine. Same with Mac, it ain't a great cigar, but it ain't bad either. It's not very interesting, but it may get a person started down the slope. I still think Yellowtail is fairly representative of New World Shiraz, but I'll admit I haven't tried many. For those of you who hate Yellowtail, can you give me a few ideas of other New World Shiraz that you DO like? I need to restock my wine fridge anyway and I'd love some advice. |

Torbreck "Woodcutters" Shiraz Barossa Valley is an excellent choice for under $20. They also make other Shiraz at different price points up to $150+.

I usually stick to shiraz from Marquis Philips D'arenberg and The Winners Tank.
Marquis Philips #9 Shiraz is about 30 a bottle, but well worth it. Woop Woop actually puts out a decent product for about 10 bucks. |

Thanksgiving wine- what is everyone drinking?
Only 4 of this year with my sister going to her in-laws. My dad doesn't drink wine so 2-3 bottles will be more than enough this year. As of right now we'll be having: 2007 August Briggs Russian River Chardonnay 2006 Melville Clone 115 Indigine Pinot Noir or 2006 Whetstone Wine Cellars Pleasant Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir My mom leans towards just-sweet German Gewurztraminer and Riesling, I think she'll enjoy the change of pace. |

It's such a pain in the a$$ to travel with wine these days, so will buy a mixed case when I hit the ground. Sucks.

Typically, I like either a mature Burgundy or Madeira with turkey. No idea on which ones I am going to open.

Agreed with the Burgundy Moses. Pinot and turkey is a great match.
